= NV YoRK, Feb. 1T. p. Gill.
Member of Parliament, telegraphs to
the Tribune from London Lord Ran
dolph Churchill's sensational speech
tonight opens a new and startling
crisis. He has flung over the MARQUIS
Of Salisbury and the Tory party. has
secuted Lord Harrington and the
Liberal Unionists, and, strangest of
al. has cut asunder the shadowy tie
that was supposed to have linked him
N secret with Chamberlain.
Lord Randolph's attack upon the
Unionists, both Tory and Liberal,
was as powerful as unexpected.
Their parrot cry of unfolding the
union in face Of the advancing cry of
home rule, he compared with the cry,
Great is Diana Of the Ephesians,
with which Ephesians hoped to stem
the tide Of the new religion.
The object Of ChurchiIl's perform
anee Is clear. 1t IS what l predicted
il would be months ago, when 1 pre-
pared You for his approaching resig
nation. and at the same time said he
had no idea of joining his fortunes
with those of a politician who had
made so stupid a wreck of himself as
Chamberlain. He has seen that he
cannot work with the old element of
Torylsm. and has made up his mind
TO try TO form new party out of the
Young Tory Democracy, who believe
II him. Tonight he appealed from
the Tory party and the House of
Commons to the people, and he re-
SRalled the fact that 1t is only four
bresrs since there was hardly a Tory
member IN the House who could afford
him 2 civil look. He fought them
with the people at his back, and he
VIII fight them again. To say the
speech has caused CONSERVATION
among the Tory and Liberal Unionist
ranks Is to use a mild expression.
Lord Harrington. whom he compared
20 a rotten crutch, glared at him in
dumb fury while he spoke. There is
no doubt he has severely damaged
the Government, and there seems
little doubt whether his victory shall
come soon. or with the Gladstonian
triumph intervening. that come it
vii, and that if Toryism is to have
any future IN England at all, Churchill
is It's destined leader.
